This is an interesting piece of sophistry, to be sure. It meshes quite well with the grand designs of the current Communist Party line that "the future of TCM is biomedicine," and I'm sure it'll make the folks at NIH and WHO happy as well, but I don…

About Me:
"There is no radical distinction to be made between what a man is given in the way of mind, emotional make-up, and body on the one hand and, on the other, what he is given in the way of outward circumstances and environment. Together they form a significant whole, and all are aspects of a particular individual life.

The being between birth and death scrawls -- in matter and in events -- a pattern which, taken as a whole, expresses his unique identity. This man, So-and-So, is not a sealed personality moving through an alien environment. He is the sum total of all that he does and all that happens to him and all that comes within his range, spread out (from our point of view) in time and space, but a single, timeless fact in the mind of God. What we are and where we are cannot ultimately be divided. And to accept our destiny is to accept ourselves, recognizing that what happens to us is as much a part of our nature -- in the widest sense -- as the most intimate moments of our own selfhood. It is sometimes said that the fatal bullet has its victims name on it, and fits no other flesh.

In the last resort, man looks at the love or anger or fear within him, and says, So this is me. Looks at his withered hand or wounded foot and says, So this is me. Looks at the woman he has married or the garden he has planted and says, So this is me. Looks finally upon his enemy and upon his death and says, So this is me. But in saying this, he bears witness to the fact that he is incomparably more than an itemised list of the elements that make up his individuality and its inseparable field of action."
-Gai Eaton, "Man as Viceroy," Studies in Comparative Religion

Hey Nathan- Shane just sent me an email with the same scheduling blues as you expressed previously. Wanna help come up with a better option for y'all and become part of the solution? If so, put your thinking cap on and let me know if you stumble upon a genius moment, thought or idea....I know you got it in you!

That is a great application of your BA! I always love to see people apply the passions they pursued in college to the work they pursue afterwards.
